A TOTALLY NEW WAY TO STUDY

Around 50 courses are now available as SELF GUIDED LEARNING CD's

Purchase a CD and do the course with or without enrolling as a student.

If you purchase the CD alone, you can monitor your own progress by using automated self assessment tests which ask questions and later reveal your results. This can SAVE close to 50% in the cost of a course.

If you wish to upgrade after commencing study, you still have the option of paying a supplementary fee to register as a student with ACS and get our full range of student support services and assignment marking.

WHY STUDY WITH ACS?

There are many reasons people choose us.

Compare with other colleges and universities and you might be surprised. Student Testimonials

- Prompt service (Usually same day on most communications)

- Unrestricted contact with academic staff (where can you get that today?)

- Quality of staff (Check our staff qualifications and experience)

- Learning through guided experiences; not just factual information and test ing recall.

- Topics and combinations of topics not offered elsewhere

- International visibility (eg. search the internet globally on Google, and see who appears)

We believe:

The Student (customer) comes first. Education is a guided learning experience, far more than just notes or books. A good course will leave you with a sound foundation and a capacity to build your skills and knowledge in the discipline you chose.

BE DIFFERENT

Most people choose to study things that are attractive; but the most attractive things are studied by lots of people. Graduates from popular courses thus tend to have lots of competition: lots of other people in the workplace with a similar set of skills to what they have. If you want to increase your opportunity, avoid the mainstream!
